About this ebook
Perfect Project is a how-to guide for homeowners who are choosing the products and finishes for their custom home building project. Whether remodeling one room or building a new custom home, Perfect Project shows homeowners how to select every finish—plumbing fixtures, appliances, light fixtures, cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, doors, trim, paint, stain, wallpaper, hardware, and glass—and create that high-end designer look. Discover the thought process and planning behind good design decisions for each different finish that you are selecting. Learn how to identify your personal style and create a custom home infused with your signature look.
Perfect Project is for DIY’ers who are passionate about the home design experience, who know what they like, but would appreciate just a bit of professional guidance. This book gives you the tools you need to make informed design decisions, so you don’t have to go it alone. Eliminate confusion and costly mistakes. Use Perfect Project as a reference on the construction-site or as you shop to help you make critical decisions and to pull it all together for dramatic results.
At the beginning of the book is the Perfect Project approach to making selections. Use these guidelines as they apply to every finish and decision you make. The Perfect Project approach will simplify, clarify, and demystify the selection process, and amplify your style.
The chapters that follow are arranged by finish category in the same order as the construction process, showing you step-by-step which finish selections need to be made and when. Start at the beginning and follow along with the book to keep pace with the home builder’s production schedule, and stay on top of the decision-making time line. This book takes you through the entire selection process—planning, shopping, layout, and installation—to show you how to optimize every selection, and to select the perfect finishes for every room.
Perfect Project is filled with guidelines, inside tips, and trade secrets to help you get professional design results. Create interiors that are beautiful, as well as, functional, and maximize the style potential of your home. Design the home of your dreams with Perfect Project!
